I Only Feel Inadequate But I’m Not Ashamed- Nse Ikpe-Etim Opens Up On Not Having Children

Nollywood actress, Nse Ikpe-Etim has disclossed that there is nothing big deal in not having a child of her own. 

The star actress made this known during an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo on Instagram where she spoke about her personal life.

The revelation is coming two years after she opened up on her inability to have her own children.

She had revealed in 2019 that she had to undergo hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) after she was diagnosed with a disease.

Speaking about how her inability to have a child made her feel, she said she didn’t feel any shame, that she only felt inadequate.

The 47-year-old said, “I felt inadequate as a woman but I’m not ashamed. That’s the least that I would be because I can’t.

“It was tied to how I was brought up. We don’t tie shame to ourselves. We live through life fully.”

She also added that her husband, Clifford Sule, has supported her throughout the journey because it was what he was meant to do.

“It’s us, we walk in there as a partnership. We’re faced with the good, bad, and ugly,” Nse said.

When asked if she was open to adoption, the actress said, “You never say never, but right now, my husband and I are just dog parents.”

Nse got married to her childhood sweetheart, Clifford Sule, in 2013.
